Blue and White Table

Originally, Pat was going to set the table this week using some Jadeite pieces that we have as the inspiration, but "things happened" and it morphed into something totally different:

Over view of the table - set without our usual bread and butter plate

The place setting

First Pat used this blue metal charger alone, but found that the dinner plate looked "lost," so she then added a charger that matched the dinnerware pattern to fill in a bit.

Definitely out of Pat's "comfort zone" - she used this glitzy napkin ring to add a little zing to the table

Pat used these "lined" glasses because they reminded her of the "lines" on the dinnerware

Flatware is "20th Century Baroque" silverplate by Godinger Silver

Silk blue hydrangea (remember, it's California and we have been mandated to cut our water consumption by 25%, so we have no extra water for the real thing) in a silver bowl

 

From the other end of the table

Here's where it came from:
Tablecloth - Linentablecloth.com (I've said it before, but thanks to Tablescape Designer and Guru Alycia Nichols at "Tablescapes at Table Twenty One (https://tabletwentyone.wordpress.com/), I found this wonderful place to buy inexpensive linens of every color....a tablescaper's dream come true)
Lace Placemats - from Lentz Department Store in the Victorian village of Ferndale, CA (a fabulous local store with all kinds of neat stuff)
Chargers, Dinnerware, and Glassware - Pier 1 over the last several years ago
Flatware - "20th Century Baroque" by Godinger Silver from Horchow's
Assorted Candle Holders - from Ross and Tuesday Morning
Candles and Silk Flowers - Michael's
Napkins - Handmade by Pat to match the chargers
Napkin Rings - from Pier 1
Silver Bowl - from our collection
